How to play

1
Lay your baby on their back and hold both their hands.
2
Slowly pull them up to a 45-degree angle (not all the way up).
3
Lower them back gently. Repeat 2-3 times.

What you need

• Nothing at all. Just the two of you.

Why it works

Gentle pulling helps strengthen the neck and core muscles your baby needs for eventual sitting.
